Using a Cryo-TEM in structural biology imaging requires a stable platform to create the 3D images researchers demand. Unfortunately, many facilities that require Cryo-TEM instrumentation are in less-than-ideal locations regarding vibration.

VEC works with many customers who either have installed or consider installing “Isolation Slabs” to isolate an instrument from building vibration and other sources of vibration that

Laboratories are places where precision and accuracy are of utmost importance. Any external factor that affects the accuracy of the results can be disastrous. One such factor that often goes unnoticed is acoustic noise.

The Daeil DVIA-M series vibration isolations system is the premier active vibration isolation system with excellent broadband vibration isolation and superior performance at low frequencies.

Electron microscope vibration is an increasing concern in modern laboratories because of improving resolution and extended duration imaging. At higher resolution, external vibrations have a proportionally greater impact on image quality. Also, extended duration imaging and 3D reconstructions cause image quality to be more susceptible to incremental sources of vibration

Active vs. passive vibration isolation, understanding the difference is critical to mitigating the impacts of vibration on equipment performance. Passive isolation systems use the natural properties of a spring and a dampener to reduce vibration.
